Privateers Defeat The Warriors In A One Sided Game

Alexandria Bay - A wild start to the period. Three fights in five seconds. If they read my last blog they should know I wanted them to spread it out! Both teams dressed enforcers and both teams had them out their to start the first period.

                          *From what I hear it was a thumb to the eye that ended this one.

Akwesasne was forced to go without Dan Tessier, Mathieu Raby, Pat Deraspe, Nicolas Corbiel and it showed as they failed to keep up with the hard working Privateers outside of the fight column ofcoarse.

Some physical play. Back and forth action when a deflection and some ugly bounces lead to Privateers first goal. 1-0 and the physical player got bigger. Simon Desormeaux stepped into Adam Mcallister with a late hit picking up a penalty. Another fight Geonetti vs Forget to end the period.

Beginning of the second the momentum was favoring Akwesasne as Pierre Dagenais netted his 31st goal in 20 games. But the ice quickly tilted back and it didn't take long for Privateers to answer with a beautifully set up three on one break. 2-1 Privateers.

1000 Islands wasn't done there quickly making it 3-1 and then 4-1 in quick succession. The Privateers kept up the pressure and a frustrated Akwesasne team skated off for the intermission looking for answers.

A very uneventful third. Privateers lit the lamp to make it 5-1. Delisle with a goal but too little to late. Privateers twice more and that pretty much wraps it up.

Shout out Simon Desormeaux, Jean-Rene Forget and Mike Stacey. They each played a solid game in their respective roles. The score line didn't show it but these guys made a good impression.

Scrap the three game tryout contracts we need guys willing to shoot and get pucks to the net... Forget is in the right places. Desormeaux played very well. Squeezing guys out into the boards and making hits. Stacey is another tough guy who helps even the team up in the arms race that is enforcers in the FHL.

To everyone complaining about fighting. Suck it up, nobody likes a whiner. They aren't challenging you to a fight so don't feel threatened. These guys are out there to protect star players and nobody was forced to fight, they did it because they wanted to! and to ensure they are ready for when some idiot tries to take out your goalie or your top line centerman etc. GET OVER IT

Shout out to security at the game for breaking up two PRIVATEER fans fighting one another in the third.
